According to the relevant rules and regulations in the PRC, provision for production maintenance and production safety is accrued by coal mining companies based on coal production volume, which is recognised as expense in the income statement. On acquisition of production maintenance and production safety facilities, fixed assets and accumulated depreciation for the same amounts are recognised upon purchase. Under IFRSs, expenses relating to production maintenance and safety measures are recognised in the income statement as and when incurred. Capital expenditures on production maintenance and safety facilities are recognised as property, plant and equipment, which are depreciated according to the relevant depreciation method.

(2) Revaluation of land use rights and others

Under the PRC Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, land use rights are carried at revalued in accordance with the Restructuring. Under IFRSs, land use rights are carried at cost. Accordingly, the unamortised surplus on revaluation of the land use rights was reversed against the equity. After revaluation date, the depreciation of land use rights under the PRC Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and IFRSs are different as their carrying amounts are not the same.

(3) Tax adjustments and others
